1999 XK8 Electrical problems

Hi Everyone - I just acquired a non-running Jaguar XK8, 1999. The body and running gear are accident-free, rust free and generally in good shape - except for the engine, which was damaged when the timing chain either slipped or broke.  So I have a long haul ahead of me, to bring the car back to running condition.  Right now, I need access to a wiring diagram so I can test out the various components and make sure there are no issues. Can someone please point me to a wiring diagram for this model?   Thanks for your help.

    Hi Andrew, welcome to the Forum, hope it all goes well for you. In future, you may want to post your questions in the correct area of the Forum. This post is in the X-type area and you want to be posting future requests on the 1999 XK8 in the X-100 section, a bit higher up the page.
